COOKING WITH ORANGE

I love my kitchen I really do. When we bought our house, which is 100+ yrs. old, the kitchen had been remodeled.....in the 70's! It had stained knotty pine cabinets with hammered copper hardware, banana yellow counter tops, and yellow/beige vinyl flooring....can you say yuck?
After several attempts at painting the cabinets.....white, white with colorful flowers, white again...we eventually decided to paint them high gloss black with plain brass hardware. OMG it changed my life. We peeled up the flooring and found beautiful hard wood underneath....that was a really really good day! We replaced all the "almond" appliances with white and got rid of the completely worn out grasscloth wallpaper.
Still.........would you ever consider an orange kitchen? Here's some food for thought......enjoy.
